The Enugu-based Obedient Movement is said to be aligning with the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) governorship candidate in the state, Dr Peter Mbah, in the upcoming March 18 elections.
The group declared that they support Mbah because of his exceptional character, competence, and capacity.
The movement observed that their leader, Peter Obi, had advised them to vote for individuals in whom they have faith, therefore the decision to pass the torch from the Labour Party flag bearer to the PDP governorship candidate.

Kennedy Iyere, a founder member of the organisation, revealed this on Tuesday during a ceremony attended by members of the Obidients Movement in Enugu.
He said, “We stand here today to identify with you, Dr Peter Mbah. The potential that you have, has compelled the Obidients to come to you. You are going to be the next governor of this state because you have all it takes to lead the state well.
“The competence that spoke for Peter Obi is now speaking for Peter Mbah. The capacity that speaks for Peter Obi also speaks for Peter Mbah. Peter Obi built Fidelity Bank. He also built Next Cash and Carry.
“Peter Mbah built Pinnacle Oil and Gas. He also built other successful businesses. Anybody that has not built anything is not fit to govern one of the greatest Igbo states.
“Peter Obi became a movement because we saw beauty in him that the PDP didn’t see. The same beauty we have seen in Mbah, we are telling Enugu State people to see.

“What you can give to the Obidients movement is good governance when you become governor of this state.”
Iyere stated that for the peace of Enugu State, political stability, effective governance, the welfare of the populace, and the security of the inhabitants, a man of character is required.
“Legitimacy also speaks for you. Peter Obi has told us on Arise Television to support anybody with character, competence, capacity, and credibility. So, we are working on that footstep and we are transferring the mantle to Peter Mbah.”
